What happens when you mix hairspray, headlice and a little dab of Elvis? Hairlarity. The year is 1958 and Betty finds herself unfulfilled as a housewife. She and her husband have been unsuccessful in starting a family and her husband will not “permit” her to get a job. With the encouragement of her sister, Betty secretly sets up an in-home salon, leveraging her prowess with hairspray and bobby pins. Betty begins to change the lives of neighborhood women by “poufing” their hair. Pouf! is an “uplifting” comedy with big hair and even bigger laughs. https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/dandelion-musical-campaign daily 0.75 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/44a65ddd-1c22-4c6b-b4bf-06996adf2427/Benefit+Invite+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/d9d0f514-62d6-463c-a78b-d5905e51d7da/IMG_0001.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/d9d0f514-62d6-463c-a78b-d5905e51d7da/IMG_0001.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/44a65ddd-1c22-4c6b-b4bf-06996adf2427/Benefit+Invite+%281%29.jpg https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store daily 0.75 2020-11-17 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/digital monthly 0.5 2020-11-17 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/event monthly 0.5 2020-11-17 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/matinee monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/merch monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/night monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/soundtrack monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/ticket monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/p/soundtrack-1 monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/1605131942985-HIQU347IWW3TXWQ1EX3W/stage.jpg Store - Soundtrack https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/p/company-merch monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/1603408139098-33VVW00SWX031ZZC25XR/image-asset.jpeg Store - Company Merch https://evolvingdoortheatre.com/store/p/event-ticket-1 monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecedb89d5367e68d8007c08/1603407691995-A0C2O0IKKY3TYNUI0NYQ/ticket.jpg Store - Event Ticket
